I really want a particular domain name. It is previously registered, but the the registration expires in November. It was a two year registration and it is not an actual site, it’s parked. So I think the registrar owns it. It has a private registration but seems like these guys do that.
Anyway, should I wait until the expiration date and try to buy it then or try to contact the owner? I don’t want to use a broker seems like a waste of money. They also offer a “back order” option too sounds like BS. Is it likely that the registrar would just let the registration expire or would they be evil and snatch it up again?
I have the exact same domain except its dot net not dot com. Thoughts?
Good advice. I’m going to sit on this one for a while. No deal!

IMNirvana.com — I’ve been using Parked.com for several of my parked domains. The commissions are small so I’ve discovered it’s best to setup a quick eBay niche store vs. just parking it.

• Can people spell it?
• Pronounce it?
I—John W. Furst—wanted to know it. And made this short video experiment in Seth Godin’s Triiibes social network.
Thanks to my triiibester friends:

The lesson!

• easy to remember
• optionally for SEO: contains keyword and benefit
